Cloud alter cloud, a glorious siht.
Contrasting with the deep blue sky !
Iu grateful silence earth receives
The general blessing ; Iresh and lair,
Each flower expands its little leaves, '
As glad the common jjy lo share.

A lairy light, uncertain, pale ;

Melhinks some spirit ot the air
Might rest to taze below a while,
Then tutu to bathe and revel there.
The sun breaks forth from ofTihe scene,
Its floating veil ol mist is flnn ;
And all the wildernees ol green
Willi trembling drops ot light is hung.

Fresh in her youth, Irom God's own hand.

She calls her children lo rejoice, i
And round them throws her arms of love.
Drink in her influenre low-born care,
And all ihe train of mean desire,
Refuse to breai he this holy air,
And 'mid this living light expire.
A STOUT FOR CfllLDREY.
WILLI C, THE RUNAWAY.
One moonlight r.ight, when all the haue
wits still , Willie Nichols rose from his bed.
He dressed himself quietly lhat he might
not disturb his sister, or his little brother
33uuie, who slept with him. Through the
window of the attic room the moonbeams
shone softly, and they threw beautiful light
on Fan nie's pale face, and on Bennie's cur
ling hair. They showed Willie the seams
and the cracks in the old wall, the trunk
which his father had Carried with him on
his voyage jears ago, and the little Bible
on the stand. Precious little bible! His
Sabbath school teacher had given it to hiiri
as a token of love, Ions before Willie had
thought of ever being a runaway. Out of
the window the same moonlight wa (ailing
softly on the old mulberry tree in the little
garden, and making fantastic shadows of its
leaves and branches upon the ground. It
fell, too, opon the 'Squire white honsj

he gazed npon the still world outside. For

But a whisper on. the other side was louder
still, and saying I can never go to Farmer

her remark that 'no son of hers should be a

his wish, but his mother had said thai ii he
loved her he would not mention the sea in
her hearing.
Willies home was near a seaport town.
Before noon of the next day he was on
the deck of a 6ntp' bound for the South Pa
cific. When again the moon shone on ihe
water, his native land was fading away in
the distance.
Willie did not find a sailors' life so free
as he expected. Tnere were hard words
and hard blows to bear. There was coarser
fare than he had been used to. There was

were lashed by storms, and the ship rolled
